    I wonder if adding an air bubbler would speed up the maceration? Everything I’ve read about using bacteria in a pond to eat the muck says that adding oxygen (aeration) is the biggest difference maker.

    • @FlockensNekroparlor

      Yes exposure to more air would probably speed up the process. It would also spread the radius of smell a lot higher. Also you'd probably never use that bubbler for anything every again!

    How/where do you get so many dead things? I'm new to cleaning bones with beetles and have used up everything I had. If you have any tips on where to get or how to get some dead animals, other that roadkill(because there isn't really any where I live), I would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the help!

      Firstly, let yourself be known as "THAT guy" who works with dead things. Through networking this away alone, my freezers are constantly full to the brim with corpses donated by fellow people who hate to see a body go to waste.
      Nextly, there's no shortage of dead in the world if you know where to look. Butcheries, hunter/farmer dump sites, vet offices, friend's pets, the list goes on and on.

    Nice video, Flock! Maceration is definitely not my thing so its nice to see someone do the step by step. Quick question: you ever run out of dead meat to feed your beetles? My colony has gotten really big and REALLY hungry lately so I can't keep up with the full process of cleaning/degreasing/whitening/assembling. Have been giving them leftover meat bones, chicken carcasses, etc. but the buggers clean everything up mighty fast! Thinking of going back to giving them dog kibble, but have also been told that can facilitate mite infestations (and besides mine never really liked the kibble, they're fancy beetles I guess). Any advice on that? Cheers and keep up the good work!

    • @FlockensNekroparlor
      @FlockensNekroparlor  Рік тому

      My freezers are always full 😅
      But sometimes I'll cook up a few dozen eggs and feed those intermittently.

    • @FlockensNekroparlor
      @FlockensNekroparlor  Рік тому +1

      And as far as the kibble goes, I much prefer the smell of rotten meat to dog food, but if you, find the highest protein content you can, and freeze bags of them at a time (72 hours minimum) to ensure no hitchhikers/mites make their way in.

    • @YesPickles
      @YesPickles Рік тому +1

      I gave kibble to one of my woodlice colonies and the mite infestation was unreal! I personally avoid it now.

      For legal purposes, I have to warn you that maceration water is not safe for human or animal consumption.

    If you don't have access to irrigation water what should you use? I only have the tap water at my house and I'd like to try maceration this coming spring and summer

    • @FlockensNekroparlor
      @FlockensNekroparlor  Рік тому +3

      Couple options! You could buy or make distilled water, you could use dechlorinator (like you use for aquariums), or you could fill a bucket and leave it for 24 hours to let the chlorine/chloramines off gas first.

    I was given 2 nice deer skulls with horn on, they are half rotten but don't stink cause he poured rock salt over them...guess he killed the bacteria?...they still have hair on and are really dry too...not sure what to do with these...any ideas?...really nice horns would love to do European mount on them both...

    • @FlockensNekroparlor

      Water maceration will still work! I would submerge for 24 hours and then change the water to dump all the salt.

    I thought I was having wild deja vu when I saw the beginning of this video. I KNOW I saw those same rotting heads somewhere before... then I realized this was part 2 😄 Question: If you don't mind my asking, are your videos monetized? I feel like youtube demonetizes videos for way less but I get ads on your videos, so I was just curious 🙃

    • @FlockensNekroparlor
      @FlockensNekroparlor  Рік тому +1

      98% of my channel is monetized. Sometimes if it's too bloody it can get a flag, but the self-rating system has done well for me so far. Educational content goes a long way!
